One thing that seems to be a common theme with Central and South American cichlids is people say to buy x number and wait for a pair to form then remove the others. I know each species is different, but let's say out of a group of six there was only one male and he paired off with a female, would the other females then be able to live together as a non breeding shoal or pair without aggression? Would they same generally go for males? Maybe this is too general of a question but it's something that intrigues me. I can give examples if this question isn't worded well.
